Fix Your AI-Built Anthropic API Integration
API for Claude models with streaming, tool use, and vision. AI tools mishandle the Messages API format, skip streaming edge cases, and expose credentials.
Common Anthropic API issues we find
Problems specific to AI-generated Anthropic API integrations.
Using completions API format instead of Messages API
AI tools generate code using the deprecated completions format (prompt with Human:/Assistant: turns) instead of the Messages API with its role-based message array.
API key exposed in browser environment
Generated code sends requests to the Anthropic API directly from the client, exposing the API key and violating Anthropic's terms of service.
Tool use response parsing not implemented
AI tools set up tool definitions but don't parse tool_use content blocks in the response or handle the stop_reason: 'tool_use' flow correctly.
Streaming implementation drops content blocks
Generated streaming code only handles text delta events and misses content_block_start, content_block_stop, and input_json_delta events needed for complete responses.
System prompt placed in messages array instead of system parameter
AI tools put the system prompt as a user message or as the first message, instead of using the dedicated system parameter, reducing response quality.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my AI-generated Anthropic integration returning errors?
The most common cause is using the old completions format. The current Messages API requires a messages array with role and content fields, a model parameter (e.g., claude-sonnet-4-20250514), and max_tokens. AI tools frequently generate outdated patterns.
How do I implement tool use with the Anthropic API correctly?
AI tools define tools but don't handle the full flow: sending tools in the request, detecting tool_use in the response, executing the tool, and sending the result back with tool_result content blocks. We implement the complete tool use loop.
Is my AI-generated Anthropic streaming implementation complete?
Probably not. Proper streaming requires handling message_start, content_block_start, content_block_delta (both text and tool input), content_block_stop, message_delta, and message_stop events. AI tools typically only process text deltas and miss everything else.
